Thanks Jon for your quick reply. I forgot to mention that I don't
write over the last backup. If it is a long day at the computer, I
keep each back up separated by inserting the time at the end of the
backup. However, I do have to remember to periodically delete the
"old ones" from two or four weeks ago.

If you got a good backup it should be ok. If it happens again, try
letting your Mozy go first. It does it on line. You can do a manual
backup without closing down from the file dropdown menu.
I can't use Mozy so I use 3 backup folders alternately. Yours should
work, but I think Mozy only saves the changes to files unless you ask
for a complete file backup.

After working in RM for about two hours log out and opted for a
regular back-up.  I got the message that it was a bad back-up.  Then,
I went to the file that holds the back-ups, and I have had three and
didn't realize it:  one was today, one yesterday evening and one
Thursday evening.  I also, back up daily to MozyPro



I opened RM4 and couldn't find any help to verify data, so I backed up
again.  I got a good backup this time.



Now, do I need to compare my last good back-up with today's back-up or
go merrily on my way?  That really sounds scary. 



Hope you can relieve my fear.



Thanks for your help.
